Hello from England! I'm 67 and just started banjo, thank you Jim so much for your wonderful lessons. You've really opened it up for me.
All the best,
Toni.

This is absolutely awesome Jim and thanks so much, I've considered picking up a banjo and attempting to learn but never felt confident enough but have looked at you first 2 video's on youtube for the beginners I've finall taken the plunge and got myself a 5 string banjo!! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge and skill and more importantly giving an absolute beginner an understanding of this fantastic instrument, Cheers Jim

Hey Jim...

Wonderful video lessons, Jim! Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge!

Hey Jim, I‘ve been a guitar player for about 40 years and just picking up the banjo at 55 years old. Just got through your lesson 1 and appreciate the work you put into it. You seem like a really cool guy too!

Thanks y'all! So glad to be sharing stuff you find helpful. Keep picking!

Hi "Jim Pankey here" - 

I have just stumbled on your videos (coinciding with seeing/hearing rave reviews on here & Facebook). I'm a rank beginner (restarting after 10 yr hiatus & age 59) & I dont know much about much but I know you're a great guy to do this for the advancement of our common cause! Pick on! I'm gonna hafta bear down on my practices to absorb all the offerings! Thank you good Sir!

Thank you for video lessons! I need it!!!

Has anyone had issues with not receiving a hangout member package I ordered one back in February and still have not received it. Can’t get a response from anyone when I emailed eric slange

I got your PM this morning and e-mailed Eric Schlange.  If you e-mailed eric slange, that's probably why you got no response.

You need to post your problem in the website problems and questions forum.  I can't move your post to that forum, so you'll have to post a new  one on the correct forum.  

Thanks from Holland Jim.
You’ve got me playing cripple creek in under a month. And i am no musical talent or did i ever in my life owned or played an instrument.

My fingers hate you, i love you!

Thanks again.

Good stuff... Thank you!! You did it, you got me playing banjo. I am only at the very beginning, but damn, I think I can do this!

Hey Y'all....

Love hearing that y'all are learning from my videos. I'm so glad y'all have trusted me to help you along.

Keep picking!

Much appreciated!

Jims videos are so great. Theres a lot of people that teach banjo but hes my favorite

Just chiming in here to say that this is exactly what I'm looking for.

As a novice, a lot of banjo parts can sound intimidating. Backing up is a great place to start learning how to find a pocket and build confidence.

Hi Jim I am a 64 year old man with no musical interests.

After coming across your videos I have this week bought my first banjo it is a Barnes and Mullins Empress banjo and I am using your videos to help me play

So thank you Jim for giving a complete new interest especially after the year we have had I need this.

Kind regards Steve

Jim is seriously the best teacher! I absolutely started with no knowledge of the banjo but wanted to play a song so badly. Jim's Bluegrass Lessons are great. It took me about 2 months (daily to every other day practice) to FINALLY get through Cripple Creek. I finally played it for my hubbs yesterday and he said that he recognized the tune!! Now, to finesse the song! :)

I a'm basicly a beginner's  banjo player, gave up after 6-9 months of frustrations. I tried some on line learning, not much results. Long story short. You're teaching method is relaxing and easy to learn. So happy to have found you/ I now am a subscribed member.

Thanks again

Hello Jim,

Thanks so much for posting this. Your video lessons have been a wonderful help to me as a self-taught (definitely still learning!) banjo player.

It's really amazing that you're willing to offer this additional instructional material for all of us.

THANK YOU!!!

I just finished watching your first lesson.

Wow, so your saying I can sing, or hum, about your baby in my arms, without having mastered at least twelve rolls for five years and just go ahead having a good time from the get-go? Like, really, I don't even need a $5,000 banjo to do that??? Just like a tiny baby trying to say "mama" without having had to study the abcies and/or their grammatic implications??? I don't even have to sound like Earl, or Don or Bela???

"Just have fun," how can that even be allowed???  Seriously???

Some may disagree with Jim's method but, dollars to donuts, anyone can be a campfire song hero before you know it following his awesome advise!

I recommend you to visit their website and read their articles to understand the banjo.

Glad that helped you.

However, this thread is about Jim Pankey's Banjo Backup Lessons, so pickmybanjo is off-topic.
